VDS pylons. Aesthetics, technology, operation
The pylonis the dominant style-forming element of the gas station, which forms the perception of the brand and creates a recognizable attractive appearance of the station. The key task of the pylon is to attract the attention of the driver at a distance of 2 kilometers to the station and "pull" the car out of the stream. A mandatory requirement for the product is uninterrupted operation throughout the entire service life.
When designing the pylon, we pay special attention to the overall visual concept of the brand and think about how to ensure good visibility during the day and at night. The pylon must be equipped with technical characteristics such as corrosion protection, weather resistance, and energy efficiency.
The pylons implemented by VDS include 8 technical competencies:
• Prefabricated metal frame with an anti-corrosion coating made by immersion hot-dip galvanizing, providing maximum protection against corrosion
• Signs and logos are obtained by reverse thermal vacuum molding, which guarantees high quality of the front surface, protection of the image from external influences
• Modules and components are unified and interchangeable regardless of the version of the stele
• The images on the glasses are applied with UV-resistant ink
• The power supply system of the stele is based on wiring harness with sealed connectors of automotive series
• Wires with faunophobic protection are used in the power supply system
• The pylons are equipped with a power protection unit, which guarantees the protection of electronics from voltage fluctuations, lightning strikes, short circuits and ensures a smooth start without overloading the power supply network
• Integrated modules for remote diagnostics of the condition of electronic components and LED screens allow timely maintenance and prompt response by the service department
The technological solutions and materials used in the production of VDS pylons ensure an effective service life of 10 years, maintainability and the possibility of fast service.
